Description

UPDATE: NEW VERSION 3 OUT! https://makerworld.com/en/models/884833#profileId-839698

 

This is an updated version of my previous handle design (https://makerworld.com/en/models/830474#profileId-774711)

 

It's much stronger, can be used with Generic or Bambu plates alike, and much easier to assemble. It is a single piece design instead of a clamshell assembly. It also uses screws instead of nuts. Finally, it's very thin for use with the P1 and X1 with closed doors.

 

I designed this to give you a secure place to grab your plates that won't result in you accidentally touching the build surface. It should also help those with limited dexterity that would like a more solid grip on their plates.

 

For installation, simply slide the bed into the grooves and tighten the screws down. Turn the screws by hand until they get hard to turn and then use a wrench or pliers to tighten them down another half turn or so. Do not overtighten or they will break.

UPDATE: Added Heavy Duty variant. Twice as thick and grips the board a lot stronger if you don't mind the extra filament and weight.

Handle V2 - A1, P1, X1 (Heavy Duty)
5 stars on build quality. not sure how to get it to stay on. torqued the bolts down extra gooder and the plate fell on the floor putting it in the machine. hopefully I can think of a way to make it stay on. no way I’d trust it to hold a slightly heavy build as I take the plate out. (UPDATE: issue was on my end. flawless build!)

not sure what the issue is. I have mine torqued all the way down and I can’t get it off if I try pulling as hard as I can

took it apart and put it back together. It had a small piece stuck in the threads that kept it from getting properly tightened. all good now! probably a rare issue and on my printers end. I would definitely suggest making a stop to where it can’t go as far onto the plate. my hotend hit it when printing the first purge line.

be sure to put bolts in from the side of handle that has the recess not from the side that is flush. it will work then.

Great work and very handy!! For the A1, the handle should stop about 1mm from the line on the built plate so it doesn't interfere with the bed. Making the slot exactly for the plate to stop at this distance would be perfect.

Thanks for the feedback. Have had a similar request but I don't have time right now to update it. Maybe in a few days. Thanks!

Also you may want to consider the Heavy Duty variant as it grips a lot harder.

Yes, I will. Because it broke when I tried to tighten screws so it stop slipping :-/

Handle V2 - A1, P1, X1 (Thin)
Printed excellent and works great! My only suggestion would be, if it's not crucial to the design, making the slot for the build plate stop where it's safe to screw it down and not damage the printer. Right now, you could potentially slide it onto the plate further than you should as to not damage the hotend.

I don’t have a P1/X1 so I haven’t run into that issue but someone else mentioned it too. need to watch a video on how those models start prints

The Build quality is great! I must have either printed the wrong one or I am putting it on incorrectly - but this goes much farther in than in should. If I screw the screws down so it doesn't hold the plate - it defeats the purpose of the handle. When all the way in - the plate cannot seat correctly. What am I doing wrong?

only the tabs on the end should be grabbing the plate. try putting the screws in, then sliding it on, then tightening

check out my V3, it’s a little stronger and addresses some of the feedback. it also shows a graphic on how to install

The print quality is excellent, however, I am unable to securely clamp the build plate; it breaks when tightened further. Thank you nonetheless for sharing.

Make sure to print at 100% infill and use the heavy duty variant. Works much better. Tighten by hand until you can't anymore, then another half turn with pliers or a wrench. Should work great.

Thank you for your reply, I simply used the default settings for printing, and I tightened it according to your suggestion, but it still failed

For all who are unable to get enough torque (or any at all) just be sure to put the screws in from the side that has the recess, not from the side that is flush. Works great now! *Also, after hand tightening I place it on the bed to be sure it was lined up properly with the line on the plate and then tightened down screws.

I haven’t had this issue. I can’t pull mine off if the screws are tight

Replying to @Grove3D :
Are you using a tool to tighten them or just by hand? I’m hesitant to break them by over torquing. I can slide the handle farther onto the plate and that grips better but then the plate wont sit flush on the bed.

Printed well - though the screws are weak due to the orientation on the print bed. Sideways with supports would be significantly stronger.

I agree but I think they’re strong enough for this application and I wanted it to be easy to print

I may have over torqued mine and twisted the head off... probably not an issue for most folks that don't go too hard on the tightening.

did you put it at 100% infill? at least on the screws? that helped

They are ok but I ended up not using them anymore. The extruder always catches on them if you push it to inwards and it's just a hassle inserting and removing it when cleaning the plate. P.S. never put them with the screws topside in the P1, the extruder cap will detach.
